Im 46 and I chose "other"; Competitive motorsports is an absolute addiction with me and I have been involved with some sort of 'racing' of some kind of vehicle my entire life. I raced MX from 7- 15 out at Baylands, then once into street bikes at 16, I started into the drag racing scene out at Fremont Raceway on Bracket night with bikes and cars. Went to a few Nats for fun mostly. Then I got into sportscar racing at 21, first on off-road courses - always wanted to do the Baja 500 in a sandrail but never did. Then into road-racing with Porsche Club, SCCA, CSCC. Had my first 911 at age 22 and then built a track only full out race prepped car when I was 25. Then came marriage at 28 and two daughters and all that was given up for a house on the hill, full time jobs, earning a living, and just finding my way through life. At 40 I started the old race car up again and totally refurbed it after sitting in a barn for 10 years. Raced it for a couple years and was out of it again. Lack of funds!

The kids grew up, I got them on dirtbikes, taught em how to ride and I had to have one again too. Found my way to the track and OTHG and that addiction was back... I guess its never goes away, and a 12 step program wont help! If it werent for the cost of asphalt track racing (either motorcycles or cars) I would probably be back involved with that, if money was no object I would be boat racing!!! but Motocross is cheaper and a HELL OF A LOT more fun!.... Bumping fenders is nothing like banging handlebars and elbows out of the gate!

OTHG people are a great group of people too, that makes all the difference.
